Jeffrey Leonard

Chief Financial Officer

Jeff originally started his career in the investment/banking business, but has now been the CFO for Pacific Medical, Inc. for more than 25 years. After taking on a multitude of responsibilities over the years, Jeff now focuses on the field management team, relative to Pacific Medical’s proprietary OrthoLife platform, as well as our financial, operational, and IT teams/initiatives internally.

OrthoLife. Jeff works with our field based management teams primarily from a business development and compensation perspective. Jeff is also keenly involved all new business development opportunities being considered.

Financial. Jeff and Nuriam Anwary, Pacific Medical’s Financial Controller, manage a team of seven employees internally. This includes A/P and A/R management, along with all tax planning/CPA interactions, and the management of our relationship with our banking/investment partners.

Operational. Jeff and Nuriam have worked together for several years on revamping Pacific Medical’s internal organizational structure, and each employee’s role/understanding contained within said structure. Nuriam and Jeff have continuously explored and implemented new technologies which bring both scale and reproducibility to our daily operations. They have also revamped the reporting tools which are used by our internal and external management teams, and their respective employees, to ensure everyone has a clear understanding of both expectations, and their performance relative to said expectations.

IT. Jeff took on the management of Pacific Medical’s IT team back in 2012. Since that time, Pacific Medical has developed an improved sense of team within the IT department and a clear understanding of Pacific Medical’s goals and vision. This improved understanding has enabled the IT team to drive solutions which are employee friendly and synergistic with our corporate goals. Additionally, Pacific Medical has continued to expand and develop “MedErp”, its proprietary software platform used to manage the OrthoLife book. MedErp coupled with our contractual relationships with Experian, Hybrent, Nuance, Empower, and DocuSign have provided Pacific Medical with the resources and tools necessary to transform its business practices from a fully manual system to one which is more automated and scalable.

During Jeff’s tenure Pacific Medical, a privately held and funded organization, has grown from a $2,500,000 revenue company with 50 employees in 2005, to a $125,000,000 revenue company with more than 600 employees. With the exception of certain real estate obligations, Pacific Medical has developed and built this debt-free proprietary business with no outside investment.
